Hearing safety

Listen at a moderate volume.

Using headphones at a high volume can impair your hearing. This product can

‡

produce sounds in decibel ranges that may cause hearing loss for a normal
person, even for exposure less than a minute. The higher decibel ranges are
offered for those that may have already experienced some hearing loss.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing ‘comfort level’ adapts to

‡

higher volumes of sound. So after prolonged listening, what sounds ‘normal’
can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. To guard against this, set your
volume to a safe level before your hearing adapts and leave it there.

To establish a safe volume level:

Set your volume control at a low setting.

‡

Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly,

‡

without distortion.

Listen for reasonable periods of time:

Prolonged exposure to sound, even at normally ‘safe’ levels, can also cause

‡

hearing loss.
Be sure to use your equipment reasonably and take appropriate breaks.

‡

Be sure to observe the following guidelines when using your headphones.

Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable periods of time.

‡

Be careful not to adjust the volume as your hearing adapts.

‡

Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around you.

‡

You should use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous

‡

situations. Do not use headphones while operating a motorized vehicle, cycling,

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than herein
